We may cherish the love of another person and want them around us as much as we can get
We may cherish a place, like your home.
When we lose them we feel sad because we wanted more, we were greedy |
like ireland?
but is that greed or sorrow? if it was something you lost that once brought you joy, i don't see how that can be a greed, greed to me is wanting more even if you already have it...i have a barrel of apples, but i want the whole orchard so they are all mine...to me that's greed...not being able to live life as it was and wanting to gain that freedom again is not greedy, maybe a little selfish but i'd equate it more with loss.
